Bob Hale (businessman)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable real estate sales association president and recipient of an "Inman Innovator Award." The Inman award seems somewhat more notable than your average minor business award, but it's not exactly an Oscar. Otherwise, I cannot find significant independent coverage of Bob Hale.

Delete: the only Bob Hale that I find references for is the baseball player, this subject fails WP:BIO. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:18, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - original version(diff) of this article was actually a WP:COATRACK for the Houston Association of Realtors. Weeding out the HAR material made it clear that Mr. Hale does not have sufficient evidence of notability independent of his organization to clear the WP:BIO bar.

Delete: A businessman should be notable in a wider area than a city before he merits an article. Jonathan Luckett (talk) 16:12, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
